Guam,2 a local govern- ment agency, the Chamorro Land Trust Commission (Commission), lim- its eligibility to “native Chamorros” (the indigenous peoples of Guam),3 for a local housing program created under Chamorro Land Trust Act (CLTA or Act).4 In particular, the federal government is challenging the Commission’s implementation of the CLTA, claiming that the agency discriminates against non-Chamorros by denying them the ability to lease lands and obtain other benefits under the Act.5 The federal gov- ernment cited, for example, an African American man who lost the home that he built with his Chamorro wife after she passed away.6 The ––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– ∗ Professor of Law, University of California, Davis, School of Law.

Governor Eddie Calvo, for example, noted that the CLTA is needed to “allow the native inhabitants of this land the opportunity to build a home and live on their native land.”9 The Attorney General of Guam argued that the Act “is intended to preserve Chamorro heritage and Chamorro culture.”10 As the forgoing evidences, United States v. Guam highlights a con- flict between an individual’s right to be free from race discrimination and the indigenous group’s claim for the protection of their lands and cultural rights.11 It is the most recent case from a line of cases out of Guam and its neighboring islands, the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands (CNMI), also a U.S. territory, that underscores the ten- sion between the rights of its native inhabitants and nonindigenous in- dividuals who also call these islands their home.12 As with the foregoing cases, a federal court would once again need to examine where the rights of indigenous peoples in the U.S. territories fit within the broader prin- ciples of equal protection and individual rights that are guaranteed un- der federal statutes and the U.S. Constitution. ––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– 7 Id. 8 Id.; see also Steve Limtiaco, Feds Sue Chamorro Land Trust, Saying It Discriminates, PAC.

Villacrusis, 958 F.2d 1450 (9th Cir. 1990); Craddick v. Territorial Registrar, 1 Am. Samoa 2d 11 (1980); see also Davis v. Commonwealth Election Comm’n, 844 F. 3d 1087 (9th Cir. 2016) (implicating, though not directly addressing, the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands’ (CNMI) land alienation law embodied in Article XII of the CNMI Constitution). Such cultural claims have been raised mainly in American Samoa, Guam, and the CNMI, the smaller and arguably lesser-known territories when compared to Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands. These questions, of course, are not new and have been raised by American Indian tribes and Native Hawaiians. Yet the issue of the protection of cultural rights, particularly regarding cultural claims to indigenous lands, has been addressed differently in the U.S. territories than in the “mainland.” 12 See, e.g., Davis, 844 F.3d 1087; Davis v. Guam, 785 F. 3d 1311 (9th Cir. 2015); Wabol, 958 F.2d 1450. I do not mean to suggest that everyone in Guam, or the CNMI for that matter, agrees that all indigenous peoples consider their rights to be in tension with the rights of nonindigenous peoples residing in these territories. The intragroup conflicts regarding what rights indigenous peoples should have raise normative and process questions that are beyond the scope of this Commentary. VILLAZOR - READY TO PUBLISH 04/02/18 – 10:33 PM 2018] PROBLEMATIZING THE PROTECTION OF CULTURE 129 Determining how to resolve the tension between these two seemingly competing rights in the U.S. territorial context is not easy.13 Both im- plicate compelling claims that raise equality and social justice issues. On the one hand, the history of race discrimination underscores the im- portance of using equal protection principles to shield individuals against government oppression in property.14 On the other hand, the ongoing efforts to decolonize the U.S. territories and address the harms of imperialism demonstrate the need to protect the rights of indigenous groups.15 Chapter Three of the Developments in the Law16 provides the most recent exploration of this conflict between laws protective of indigenous peoples’ cultural rights and equal protection principles as it manifests in the U.S. territories.17 In particular, Chapter Three examines the ex- tent to which the Insular Cases have addressed the legal debate between an individual constitutional right and an indigenous group’s claim that implicates cultural rights. Importantly, the chapter contends that the ––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– 13 Legal scholars have explored the conflict between individual rights and the rights of indige- nous peoples in the United States in other contexts.

  • Sink Or Swim: Deciding the Fate of the Miss America Swimsuit Competition
    Volume 4, Issue No. 1. Sink or Swim: Deciding the Fate of the Miss America Swimsuit Competition Grace Slapak Tulane University, New Orleans, Louisiana, USA ÒÏ Abstract: The Miss America beauty pageant has faced widespread criticism for the swimsuit portion of its show. Feminists claim that the event promotes objectification and oversexualization of contestants in direct contrast to the Miss America Organization’s (MAO) message of progressive female empowerment. The MAO’s position as the leading source of women’s scholarships worldwide begs the question: should women have to compete in a bikini to pay for a place in a cellular biology lecture? As dissent for the pageant mounts, the new head of the MAO Board of Directors, Gretchen Carlson, and the first all-female Board of Directors must decide where to steer the faltering organization. The MAO, like many other businesses, must choose whether to modernize in-line with social movements or whole-heartedly maintain their contentious traditions. When considering the MAO’s long and controversial history, along with their recent scandals, the #MeToo Movement, and the complex world of television entertainment, the path ahead is anything but clear. Ultimately, Gretchen Carlson and the Board of Directors may have to decide between their feminist beliefs and their professional business aspirations. Underlying this case, then, is the question of whether a sufficient definition of women’s leadership is simply leadership by women or if the term and its weight necessitate leadership for women. Will the board’s final decision keep this American institution afloat? And, more importantly, what precedent will it set for women executives who face similar quandaries of identity? In Murky Waters The Miss America Pageant has long occupied a special place in the American psyche.

He is currently teaching English in Taiwan. Email: [email protected] Min Zhou, Ph.D., is Professor of Sociology and Asian American Studies, Walter and Shirley Wang Endowed Chair in US-China Relations and Communications, and Director of Asia Pacific Center at the University of California, Los Angeles. Direct all correspondence to: [email protected] Acknowledgments The authors thank Valerie Matsumoto and Jinqi Ling for their helpful comments in the earlier version of the paper. This research is partially supported by the Walter and Shirley Wang Endowed Chair in US-China Relations and Communications. Abstract: This paper fills a scholarly gap in the understanding of the intraethnic diversity via a case study of the formation of a Taiwanese American identity. Drawing on a review of the existing scholarly literature and data from systematic field observations, as well as secondary data including content analysis of ethnic organizations’ mission statements and activity reports, we explore how internal and external processes intersect to drive the construction of a distinct Taiwanese American identity. The study focuses on addressing three interrelated questions: (1) How does Taiwanese immigration to the United States affect diasporic development? (2) What contributes to the formation of a Taiwanese American identity? (3) In what specific ways is the Taiwanese American identity sustained and promoted? We conceive of ethnic formation as an ethnopolitical process.
